Our History:
Owner and Professor Andrew Pardee is a multiple time IBJJF medalist in the Adults, Master 1 & Master 2 divisions. He is the only Black Belt in Weirton, WV recognized by the IBJJF and holds 2 No-Gi Pans IBJJF Bronze Medals.
After years of hard work and dedication, Professor Andrew Pardee wanted to bring his passion back to his hometown, where BJJ wasn’t offered. Weirton, West Virginia had a need for martial arts and he wanted to help people discover self-improvement through Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Andrew Pardee brought his dream to life when he opened his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Weirton during 2017. He strives to continue giving back to the community by sharing the benefits of martial arts training. As time goes on, Professor Andrew Pardee hopes to further establish a long legacy of students and instructors for generations to come.
